Various parties have weighed in on the Department of Justice’s antitrust suit against Google, filed last week.
“It is good that the DOJ is
starting the process, but ‘search distribution’ issues are a small subset of
the many issues presented by Google dominance,” said News Media Alliance
President and CEO David Chavern in a statement. “News publishers are
particularly harmed by Google’s control of ad tech — and that doesn’t appear to
be covered at all by the DOJ’s action today,” said the statement.
Chavern pushed for the
passage of the Journalism Competition & Preservation Act in his statement.
“For Big Tech, it’s a
reckoning that’s been a long time coming,” says a LA Times editorial headlined “The DOJ is taking the
gloves off against Big Tech.”
“The lawsuit, which was
joined by 11 state attorneys general, is likely to be just the first in a salvo
of antitrust cases, legislative proposals, rule-makings and other governmental
initiatives to rein in Big Tech companies,” says the piece.
